I don't know a thing about you but I'll bet that you would agree with me if i say that it is a joy having a puppy around. But sometimes, it is such a hassel kepping pets in your home. You have more responsibility and the worse part of it all is that you have to potty train it. I am sure some of you might just forget about gettin pets when you hear that you need to potty train them but let me tell you this, potty training a pet is easiest when they are young. The important thing that you should remember is that timing and routine are important. You need to setup a regular schedule for your little dog. How? Read on to find out more. I shall start by explaining the basics to you. You should first consider the age of your puppy. A puupy which is at least three months old is ready for potty training and learn about cleanup. First rule: Regular meals. Why? By having regular meals, you can take your pet out after he/ she has finished eating the meals. By having these specific times, you can make you dog more disciplined. Say no to irregular meals and late night whimpers! Second Rule: You should avoid as much as possible to give him food and water while taking a walk outside. If you really have to, you should only give a little. Another important thing to remember is that you should not give your puppy water two hours before bedtime. This is to avoid late night accidents. Third Rule: After playing with your puppy, you can now bring him outdoors with you on a leash. This would give your puppy a hint that it's time to relieve himself. Fourth Rule: When you bring your puppy out to relieve itself, always bring it to the same spot so that is is able to recognize the spot where it should relieve itself. Fifth Rule: Try using specific words to command your puppy. Soon enough they will recognize that specific word as a command. Last: I am sure you like rewards. Well, same goes for you puppy too. You should reward or praise your puppy if he relieves himself outside or followed your instructions on potty training. You cannot expect the potty training session to be perfect. I am sure you will encounter unforeseen circumstances. Well, here are some ways to deal with them. If you see you pet relieving himself, don't scream or yell. Gently nudge your pet to go outside and after this continue the reward thing by praising your puppy. However, don't worry. The mess won't be around all the time. All you need to do when you pet does this is to just keep your cool and then you should just continue with the potty training. One thing to remember when you clean your pet's waste; make sure to clean it thoroughly so that it won't leave any smell that may induce your puppy to relieve on that same spot again. After doing this, you should put the cleaning materials outdoors. Your puppy should be able to take the hint that it should relieve itself outdoors. So, there you have it. All you need to do now is to stick to the routine that you have drawn out for your puppy. Trust me, with some patience you puppy will be very well discipline. Good luck!
